Public Reporting of Hospital Quality Indicators

OU Medical Center fully supports public reporting of quality of care and safety in U.S. hospitals. We believe that the public benefits when it is able to directly compare hospitals on the basis of quality measurements.

A new website, www.hospitalcompare.hhs.gov, will provide information on hospital compliance with 10 measures related to treatment of heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia. The data shown is a snapshot in time, a first pass at measuring quality within hospitals. As the data available grows over time, and results can be compared, this information will become much more useful.

At OU Medical Center, we have multidisciplinary teams, including doctors, nurses and other health care professions, working to continuously improve hospital quality and patient safety. We all share in the ratings, and share in the responsibility for continuous improvement. Providing health care is a team effort, involving patients, families, physicians, nurses and other medical personnel.

OU Medical Center has implemented a number of patient safety initiatives and improvements to the standard of care including:
